[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's great to meet kids where they are to engage them, but I don't like expecting them to do work based on a bad habit.

Teachers, please,. Be inclusive and offer reasonable choices:

Submit a page of text in one of the following forms, or a similar one of your own design, expressing a conversation between these two characters.
* a spoken dialogue
* a Twitter exchange 
* back and forth notes passed in a school class. 
* Google docs comments chat

Create a picture  and write a  paragraph caption, in style similar to one of these:
* an Instagram post 
* a photo print with a description 
* framed gallery art with a placard.
* a book front and back cover[/quote]

My kids utterly hate assignments like this. They want clear instructions on [b]one[/b] style of writing so they can improve their skills in that style. They don't want a menu of options.[/quote]

Meanwhile my kids would love that. They love the opportunity to decide which direction to take their creativity in, and aren't so rigid that they need only one style of an assignment given. [/quote]
